Abstract

Abstract : Two soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm lines, G07‐6012 (Reg. No. GP‐394, PI 672992) and G07‐6029 (Reg. No. GP‐395, PI 672993), were developed and released by the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations. Both G07‐6012 and G07‐6029 are F4 –derived lines from the hybridization of 'N7103' × PI 366122, a wild soybean ( G. soja Siebold & Zucc.) accession from Japan. G07‐6029 is an early maturity group VII line, which yielded 2253 kg ha −1, or 88% of the yield of its elite parent N7103, and 78 and 84% of the yield from cultivars NC‐Roy and AGS 758 RR, respectively, over 15 replicated trials in the southern United States. G07‐6012 is a late maturity group VII line, which yielded 88% as much as N7103 and 70, 76, 80, and 82% as the check cultivars 'N7002', 'Woodruff', 'NC‐Raleigh', and 'N8001', respectively, in these same trials. Both G07‐6029 and G07‐6012 have seed quality and shattering and lodging resistance scores similar to those of the check cultivars. Both G07‐6012 and G07‐6029 have smaller seed than their G. max parent, N7103 (6.5 g 100‐seed weight for G07‐6029 and 5.0 g 100‐seed weight for G07‐6012 compared with 8.0 g 100‐seed weight for N7013).These two germplasm releases are the first in the southern United States that were derived from a single cross involving wild soybean. Because of their diverse pedigree (50% from G. soja ) and positive agronomic performance, G07‐6012 and G07‐6029 are released as valuable genetic resources for applied soybean breeding programs.
